Translation

• Context: Mogi Natsuki 茂木なつき, a high school girl 18 years old at the time, engages in enjo-kousai, and is depicted here getting inside the car of some unnamed man. She realizes her understanding of the value of money is distorted upon learning that her friend worked a part-time job through his summer vacation to earn only 120,000 yen (~1,200 dollars).
• {okane wo morau} koto tte {sugoku taihen na} koto nanda ne.. papa

  なつきはパパと月に３回ホテルに行くだけで３０万ももらってるけど･･
  Natsuki is receiving 300,000 yen (~3,000 dollars) just to go to the hotel with daddy three times per month, but..
  • Next panel, not in image:
  • sonna ni takusan moratte ii no?
    そんなにたくさんもらっていいの？
    Is [it] alright [for me] to receive so much?
  • Note: Natsuki uses her own name as first person pronoun, a practice commonly done by young children (e.g. Yotsuba), and a trait added to characters who aren't very bright.
  • Her relationship with "papa" becomes a source of drama later in the series.
